Abstract

Aids to navigation (AtoN) are equipment or systems outside a vessel, designed and operated to enhance the safety and efficiency of ship navigation for domestic and international shipping. This study aimed to identify the types of AtoN available and to assess fishermen's understanding of AtoN and shipping channels at Muara Angke Nusantara Fishing Port (PPN Muara Angke). The research was conducted in March 2022 using a qualitative survey method involving 30 skippers of fishing vessels under 30 GT, selected through accidental sampling. Data were collected through interviews and questionnaires and analysed descriptively. Results show PPN Muara Angke provides only 6 of 14 AtoN facilities required under Ministerial Regulation No. 25/2011, consisting of light beacons and marker buoys (visual) and radio and GPS (electronic); no audible AtoN was found. Overall, fishermen's understanding of AtoN falls into the not understanding category, with only 23.33% of skippers aware of what AtoN is and 30% understanding the shipping channel. Age, education level, and region of origin influenced this understanding. Limited understanding and incomplete facilities potentially increase the risk of shipping accidents around the port. This study recommends safety-awareness programmes for fishermen and gradual completion of AtoN facilities by the port authority. Key words: aids to navigation, fishermen's understanding, Muara Angke Nusantara Fishing Port, shipping safety

Abstract

Handline fishing plays a crucial role in tuna capture activities at Bungus Ocean Fishing Port, supporting fisheries production in West Sumatra. However, this fishing method requires further assessment, as the proportion of target catch is only slightly higher than that of bycatch, necessitating an evaluation of both catch composition and fishing power of the vessels involved. This study aimed to examine catch proportion, species diversity, and fishing power index of handline fishing vessels operating at Bungus Fishing Port. A survey method was used, comprising direct observations and interviews with fishers at the landing site, from January to February 2026. Collected data were analyzed using catch proportion, Shannon-Wiener diversity index, and Fishing Power Index (FPI) calculations. Results showed that total of 1,523 fishes from 12 species were captured, with yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) as most dominant species (47%), followed by long-fin napper (Macolor niger) (12%), and mahi mahi (Coryphaena hippurus) at about 9%. The higher proportion of main catch indicates that handline fishery operating at this port is relatively effective in catching its intended target. FPI analysis revealed variation in catching ability among vessels, which can serve as a reference for assessing efficiency. Shannon-Wiener diversity index value of H' 1,86 indicated a moderate level of species diversity. Catch variation among vessel units was relatively close to the standard vessel, although continuous monitoring is still required to support sustainable tuna fisheries management.

Abstract

Storage of frozen tuna requires consistent cold-chain management to maintain product quality and food safety while addressing the high energy demand of cold-storage facilities. This condition highlights the importance of implementing the green warehouse concept to improve energy efficiency and reduce environmental impacts without compromising temperature control performance. This study aimed to identify processing stages of frozen tuna in cold storage and to identify implementation of green warehouse aspects in frozen tuna storage. Structured literature review was conducted by analyzing scientific publications related to frozen tuna processing, cold-chain management, green warehousing, and energy efficiency published primarily during 2017–2026. Results indicate that frozen tuna processing generally involves raw-material receiving and handling, mechanical processing, freezing, and frozen storage, with temperature control serving as a critical factor in maintaining product quality and food safety. Implementation of green warehouse principles in cold storage encompasses building and insulation efficiency, energy-utility management, efficient lighting, material handling and automation, material and packaging management, and operational optimization. Key strategies for frozen storage include optimizing warehouse filling levels, minimizing door-opening frequency and duration, scheduling defrost cycles, maintaining refrigeration systems, utilizing renewable energy, and implementing digital temperature monitoring technologies. Therefore, green warehouse implementation in frozen tuna storage should integrate quality preservation, energy efficiency, operational efficiency, and environmental impact reduction to improve the sustainability of the cold-chain system without compromising product quality. Key words: cold chain, cold storage, energy efficiency, frozen storage, frozen tuna, green warehouse

Abstract

Immediate handling of fish catches is important for maintaining the quality of small-scale fishery products. Ice is commonly used, but storage space, procurement, transportation, and handling may pose challenges for fishers operating small vessels. This study examined fishers’ assessments of a 60 L refrigerated cool box as a catch-handling technology in Cilincing, North Jakarta. A descriptive quantitative approach involved 45 fishers, including swimming-crab fishers and fishers using various types of nets. Perceptions were measured using 10 indicators and a three-point agreement scale. Across 450 responses, 80.00% indicated agreement, 14.44% were neutral, and 5.56% indicated disagreement. The total score was 1,235 out of a maximum of 1,350, equivalent to a mean score of 2.74 on a 1–3 scale and a score-to-maximum index of 91.48%. The highest index concerned the perceived ability to maintain catch quality (94.81%), while the lowest concerned the potential to increase fishers’ income (86.67%). The response proportion and score index represent different measures and are reported separately. These findings describe respondents’ agreement with the potential benefits of the technology; they do not demonstrate actual improvements in product quality, operating costs, income, or technology adoption.

Abstract

The transition from cantrang to seine net (Jaring Tarik Berkantong/JTB) has raised fishers’ concerns regarding potential declines in catch production and operational profitability. This study was conducted to analyze operational costs, cost-determining factors, and profit decline simulations as a basis for assessing the sustainability of fishing gear transition. The objectives of this study were to estimate fishing operational costs, identify factors influencing operational costs, and analyze the tolerance threshold of profit decline under seine net operations. This research employed a descriptive case study approach through observation and structured interviews involving 15 respondents, consisting of vessel owners and skippers selected using purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using Causal Loop Diagram (CLD), Revenue-Cost Ratio (R/C Ratio), Break Even Point (BEP), and catch decline simulation scenarios. The results showed that average operational costs reached IDR 46.1 million per trip, with fuel accounting for the largest proportion (54%). The R/C Ratio of 2.08 indicated that the business was financially feasible, with a production break-even point of 3,523.56 kg per trip. Simulation results revealed that the business remained viable under catch reductions of up to 40%, whereas declines exceeding 55% could potentially lead to financial losses. These findings indicate that the transition to seine net remains economically promising, provided that operational efficiency is strengthened as an adaptive strategy for fishers. Key words: cantrang, seine net, financial feasibility, operational-costs, profit-simulation

Abstract

Hairtail fish have significant economic value in Palabuhanratu waters. Fluctuating hairtail catches indicate the need to improve fishing efficiency. The use of metal jigs by recreational anglers has increased, but their relatively high cost encourages the development of wooden artificial bait as an economical and easily produced alternative. This study aimed to determine catch composition, compare catches by bait type, identify the optimal fishing period, and analyze the financial feasibility of both bait types. The study employed an experimental fishing method with 20 replicates. Catches consisted of largehead hairtail (Trichiurus lepturus), smallhead hairtail (Trichiurus savala), snake mackerel (Gempylus serpens), and redtail scad (Decapterus kurroides). Largehead hairtail was the dominant catch, with 472 individuals (70.24%). Wooden artificial bait produced 248 largehead hairtail and 48 smallhead hairtail, with higher catches than metal jigs. The 19:00–24:00 WIB period produced 334 hairtail individuals, compared with 220 individuals during 00:00–05:00 WIB. Wooden artificial bait generated a profit of IDR 2,450,250.00 over 20 fishing trips, while metal jigs generated IDR 794,826.00. Wooden artificial bait coated with aluminum foil has potential as a more economical alternative to metal jigs for handline fishing.
